Abstract
A range profile classifier wherein targets are identified based on the sequences of their received range profiles. Individual looks at a target are taken and it is assumed that the aspect angle of observation changes by no more than a predetermined amount. Correlations are made with reference data, which correlations are then summed recursively according to preselected restrictive criteria to obtain the most likely sequence corresponding to the target for which reference data is stored in the range profile target classifier.
